The Coast Guard and the crew of the Navy destroyer USS Cole rescued three people Sunday from the disabled 38-foot sailboat Wings approximately 210 miles offshore of North Carolina; the USCG also assisted the 42 foot Jammin (pictured) about 20 miles away from the Wings, when the same weather pattern left both sailboats with damaged rudders.
